Authentic re-enactment of Captain Robert Searle's 1668 attack on St. Augustine. Searle and his privateers sailed from Jamaica to loot the silver ingots held in the Spanish royal coffers at St. Augustine. Their vicious attack killed 60 of the town's citizens and led to the construction of the Castillo de San Marcos. On Friday at 4:30 p.m., the call to arms is issued on Cathedral Place and Spanish soldiers march to the City Gate and demonstrate their weapons. On Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Raiders' encampment at the Fountain of Youth Archeological Park (11 Magnolia Ave., St. Augustine) is open to the public and features drills, demonstrations and living history interpretations. At 4:30 p.m., Searle's men attack the city's Spanish soldiers and colonial citizens at the Plaza and pursue them to the City Gate where the skirmish continues at Orange and Cordova Streets. 1 King St., St. Augustine. 904-534-6168
